Pretty much says it all.
I also think its a lot to do with owt for nowt as outcast said
A lot mackie bashers also think that catching 50 mackerel makes you a good fisherman and they will boast about it.
I was a fishing god on Horden beach last summer, easy 100 people fishing for mackie but I was the only one catching due to casting distance. I'm not an amazing caster, but they seemed to be about 100 yards out and I was hitting them right on the drop, nobody else could get to them. I was giving fishing tips to half a dozen lads that day...
You should of seen all the chavs laughing at my spinning technique before I started catching
That was the same day a lad literally walked in front of me, not 2 feet to the side, literally in front of me.

Owt for nowt!! Hit the nail on the head lads.. Im not talking about anglers who enjoy fishing for Mackeral and take a few for themselves for bait or the bbq.. Its the once a year loons who fill bin bags of them, then as many have said boast about their "acheivement!" these people have NO respect for fish or fishing..
yer, I was on the 42 mark a few year ago and this polish halfwit was coming off of the end and when behind me his Morrison's bag burst, half cooked macky everywhere and he tried to put them back in the bag but the bag was ripped open so they kept falling back out. anyway after about 5 minutes of this I went over and gave him a bin liner (I always have a one in the bag in case), he managed to get them cleared up and in the bag but then insisted I have a one for helping him, I mean how many ways is there of telling someone to f##k off, all I gave him the bag for was to get the f##cker out of the way anyway

HI.I can't afford the time or money to fish all year round. I catch what i can use and then go home (taking the odd bag full of rubbish for the bin) And there's plenty of that.

At least that "Polish halfwit" as you call him will eat all the fish he catches,even the undersize ones.
I have seen plenty of local idiots catch loads of Macky and then waste them over the years....

Does that mean you only fish for mackerel? If so then how do you get time to fish for them and not all year round? As for money I assume you mean on bait as you must have tackle...Mackerel is used for bait so why not use them that you catch?

The difference is last year I went out twice and took home 20 in total.Yes thats up to me, its the shameless slaughter that I cant stand to see around me.. Does anyone really NEED to take scores of fish, I think not!! Back again to respect for the fish and maybe a few morals.. :banghead:

It is a slaughter and waste of fish, I can't see all those lads gutting and cleaning fish ready for the table. It would be nice this year if a couple of lads dressed in fish outfits and bashed the makie bashers lol
